PS4 Pro users have been handed several big updates this week as numerous games outlined their plans for 4K PlayStation support.

For instance, Elite Dangerous which launched last week on the PS4 and PS4 Pro released a new patch (the 1.03 update) which fixed a number of issues, including V-sync and screen-tearing problems that were mainly affecting PS4 Pro players.

Secondly, Cliff Bleszinski's new shooter LawBreakers, which releases in August for PlayStation 4 (but not Xbox One) will apparently max out the settings of the PS4 Pro.

Boss Key Productions Lead Designer Dan Nanni told GamingBolt:

"PlayStation 4 Pro is 60 frames-per-second. PlayStation 4 base is 60 frames-per-second. We are maxing it out. We are 4K on PlayStation 4 at 60 frames-per-second. It’s all about maximizing the performance, and make sure it plays competitively."

Finally, Epic Games new upcoming survival game Fortnight has confirmed that it will run at 4K and 30fps on both PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.

Zak Phelps, producer of Fortnite was also talking with Gamingbolt and said: “Resolution and frame rate is all dependent on your PC and what you can run. PS4 Pro, Xbox X, it’s going to look really good in 4K. We’re going to allow the resolutions that we can support and frame rate at 30 frames per second”.

Horizon Zero Dawn, arguably one of the best PS4 games and best looking PS4 Pro games ever released has just surprised fans with a sizable new update this week which New Trophies, unlockables and an Ultra Hard difficulty.

"As of today, you can download patch 1.30 which includes additional fixes to progression issues which some of you may have encountered. However, it also includes the highly anticipated New Game+ option," explains a new PlayStation blog post.

Effectively New Game+ allows players to relive the adventures of Aloy without losing character progression and your collected inventory. That said, you can't progress beyond the level cap of 50, but can still collect XP during the adventure.

"We have also added updated versions of existing weapons and outfits with an extra modification slot at their disposal. These will not come cheap and will set you back some extra shards."

There's also an ‘Ultra Hard’ difficulty setting which Guerilla Games say will "enhance machine senses and behaviour" but

Last but by no means least the game also adds 2 new Trophies and extra unlockables like the ability to add facepaint or change Aloy’s Focus.

There's a long list of patch notes, for the 1.30 update, but if you want to take a closer look all you need to do is visit the games forum, here.

While Sony's main focus right now might still be firmly on growing their PS4 Pro catalogue of games, this year's Xbox One X release date has brought forward all sorts of questions about a potential PS5 console from Sony.

When speaking with German website Golem, PlayStation boss Shawn Layden confirmed that a PS5 “is coming” but it will “probably be some time” before it’s released.

Earlier this week trusted Industry expert and Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter told GamingBolt that he believes Sony is planning to a PS5 release date for 2019, at the earliest.

In addition to the release date, Pachter has also predicted that the PlayStation 5 will be backwards compatible with PS4 Pro.

"I really like Shawn and I don’t think he is attempting to mislead anybody," Pachter explained first.

"The PlayStation 4 Pro is better [from a technical perspective] than the PS4, so I think that’s a half step towards the PlayStation 5. I think the PS5 will be another half step. So he is being honest when he said he is not doing a half step but the PlayStation 5…how much faster can it be?

"It will surely support 4K. Will it support 240 frames per second? Great. Will it play games that were made for the PlayStation 4 PRO? That’s the question.

"I think it will. So I think they will build a console that will backwards compatible with the PS4 Pro.

"So I think it will be perceived by the consumers to be a half step and I think Shawn is telling the truth when he says it’s will be a full fledged console,”

Pachter then went on to explain when he believes Sony could look to launch the console and why it could yet be some time.

“My expectation Is that it’s not coming out in 2018. That is a 2019 or 2020 [release] but probably 2019.

"Sony is probably timing it better because they are going to bring out a 4K capable device when the 4K TV market reaches 50% in the USA and 35% in the rest of the world.

"I think Sony has probably got the next console cycle nailed down already. I think, they already know what they got to do," Pachter concluded.
